my homage to Greece
After re-reading Bulfinch’s Mythology, and Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, my urge for holidays to Greece was reinforced. Just imagining stepping inside the Parthenon, visiting the Temple of Artemis, the Acropolis, the Arch of Hadrian, and the Temple of Zeus at Olympia sends me shivers of excitement…
Who wouldn’t want to visit Greece to pay homage to the place that produced the writers Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes, and the philosophers Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, and my favorite - Epicurus? Let’s also not forget Alexander the Great. In case you do not know, Greece, according to Wikipedia, is usually regarded as “the birthplace of the first major democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature, political science, major scientific and mathematic principles, and Western drama - including both tragedy and comedy.”
Who knows, after visiting that place, I just might be inspired enough to write my own book – something everyone has been encouraging me to do since high school.
